I am looking for direct specific treatment for "Bubble Algae". This is an ask for knowledge sharing from anyone have personally tried and killed/ eradicated bubble algae in large mixed reef tank with lots fishes.
I understand water parameters is the real-solution. I am looking for treatment and management solutions for Bubble Algae.
Months back, I had Cyano and the Hair Algae - @SamsReef and Reefco (LFS in NJ) suggested using Chemiclean for Cyano and Flux RX for hair algae - the suggestions are 100% spot on and works fully. There may be other options but I use these since they work.
Looking for similar solution for Bubble Algae:
1. one-time clean-up/ wipe out treatment?
2. ongoing control/ management?
Any experience with acanthurus tang (which works best and is hardy?)?
Emerald crab for ongoing is likely not going to work - the crab is too slow to fix a 8 ft tank and I worry crab may hurt my other animals - shrimp/ corals/ small fishes
Also, does anyone with experience with Vibrant vs. Reef HD Reef Flux?
(Reference thread on Reef HD ... https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/killing-bubble-algae-with-reef-hd-reef-flux.353069/ would like to understand if is it safe to use 4x doze of an anti-fungal for algae)
